Ok so how does the 6 clips go in for the trim piece? Do I cut the headliner were they go or just push them in? Will they be some what loose or tight? Thanks for any help,this weekend project.

Push'm in the hole and GENTLEY squeeze the tabs to spread the rear wings. Use a soldering iron to start the hole...

Wayne so I do the hole first?

Ya, if you're glued across them... just burn a hole big enough to insert the metal bracket.

I wish I never would have taken those stupid brackets off...no matter what I tried I couldn't get them to relock back in with any confidence. Didn't want to chance them falling out later, once the windshield is in, you're blocked out.
I ended up running a screw in to hold them good.

Those clips look like the ones on my 65 Belvedere. I modified the clips and installed nut serts and 10-32 screws to retain them.
